Maya codices (codex) are folding books written by the pre-Columbian Maya civilization in Maya hieroglyphic script. These books recorded the full extent of their learning and ritual.Thousands of the codices were destroyed by the Spanish invaders and Catholic priests in the 16th century. With their destruction, access to the history of the Maya and opportunity for insight into some key areas of Maya life was greatly diminished.This book is a compilation of the only four surviving Maya codices, which have been named for the cities where they eventually settled. These are: (1) The Dresden Codex, (2) The Madrid Codex, (3) The Paris Codex, and (4) The Maya Codex of Mexico (formerly known as Grolier Codex). Read more
